Let me make something clear, I will never mention the word/term "Depression" or similar words/terms when writing this. Because honestly I'm not depressed at all, just a little confused and upset. I have this feeling from time to time, and it has to do with my character and personality. While I'm a very smart child, capable of getting several high scores like 80 % to 100%, with ease. I struggle on the Talent and deep personality side of things. See I don't really have any form of talent or creative hobbies, Sure I Photoshop things, but any one could do that, it's a free software and if you know the basics (Which takes about 30 minutes of experimenting) you could make the exact same things I do. And other than that, I'm completely unoriginal in creative talent. I will say I like movies,music and games. But the only one that holds true, really is music, as I do listen to it everyday. But even than I hate trying to learn/make music. with movies, I will generally get bored half-way through and do something else, and with Video Games, I get bored of them quickly as well. Everything I say to myself when it comes to my personality are all just cloaks of dust, that I've decided to cover over my dull uninteresting personality. I try to act happy and loud, but really, I'm very quiet and like to keep to myself, as a resort, I've go on the internet searching for people to talk to, so I may feel like I have friends, but honestly, I don't really have any. While I'm smart, I'm lacking on the Talent side of things along with anything that would make me, unique........ I don't know why, but it gets to me.......I was just going to take a break from this site, to come to terms with myself and who I truly am, But.............I feel I need some advice......
Maybe try starting a Youtube chanel and just doing whatever you feel like? With Youtube, you can do anything...so you can switch topics as fast as you'd get bored of them~
Common Sense, I can teach you Python basics. If you are interested PM me. I will give you details on when I am available and everything if you're interested.
If you are interested in programming I can also help with python, C++, C, PHP, JS, SQL, ASM, (HTML+CSS if you want to count those) and maybe (probably) some other things (just not java or c#)~
I already know Python Basics, But thanks! I have always wanted to learn HTML and PHP.........So I probably will take up that offer. Quite true.... THANK YOU ALL! I have been feeling better lately, May I wish you all the best. *Hugs*
> PHP Not a language I would recommend learning. Antiquated and horrible are two choice words that would suitably describe it, without getting into the specifics. A better option might be Rails. Despite the issues I have with the framework, and the issues I have with Ruby, it's a much better option that's not only simpler to grasp, but also encourages (some) good practices. That, and the function of code is very self evident. A contrived example might be, Code: # Users that joined in the last 30 days, going from newest to oldest new_users = User.where(created_at: 30.days.ago .. Time.now).order(created_at: :desc) As alternative to manually writing queries to the database (or whatever nonsense it is that Laravel does), this is way neater and nicer. Regardless, I leave a link here. http://phpsadness.com/
Yet most of the web actually uses PHP, and it can be quite beutiful to work with. Yes, it is inconsistent in function naming / argument order, but the answer is just one super-quick search away. Another thing with PHP is that it is supported on almost every webhoster out there, try to find a host who doesn't support php! EDIT: Also the example you gave is just database stuff, for PHP you just use like MySQL or SQLite or something for database access, SQL is a different language than PHP and is actually turing complete
"Web hosts" are a pretty deprecated concept that isn't helping the problem. We do development using Heroku(a lightweight instrumentation layer over AWS, by the way). You can literally deploy any sort of app to AWS or Azure. You're literally just deploying to a VM. Heroku is helpful in that our deployment just require us to push to a git remote. From there the build is automatic. > "super-quick search away" Another way of saying unmaintainable copy-pasta mess. Also, my point was more that modern frameworks tend to abstract databases to mitigate the need for manually writing SQL. In part because it's not portable across databases. There is a portable subset of SQL (ANSI) that all (most) relational databases adhere to (this isn't even touching upon Document Databases like MongoDB which don't use SQL), but it's a fairly restrictive subset. ORMs like Rails' ActiveRecord not only give the ability to query data agnostic of the database itself, but also wrap the data into instances of Model classes. These models not only provide functions for database interaction, but also things like data constraints and validations, callbacks, and any further functionality that you choose to place into them. Consider this as an example, Code: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_one :profile has_many :orders, dependent: :restrict_with_exception has_many :products, through: :orders validates :username, presence: true, uniqueness: true validates :password, presence: true, length: { min: 8, max: 128 }, confirmation: :confirm_password after_create :send_confirmation_email . . . end ActiveRecord itself is only one component of the set of libraries that make up Rails.
